Playing DayZ? then follow this simple rules!

[doom4mr 135]

Hello,

Played on private hive server recently, new character, no gear, so I decided to interact with other players.

I am friendly so... this is how it was: :huh: > :( > :| > <_<

I met 3 players and got killed twice, third player, was probably too scared so after shooting whole m1191 mag at me and the wall next to me, he and his zombie friends escaped...

It wasn't interesting at all...

After thinking about it (no, not for long time, I still got a little life), I came with this simple rules that I think EVERY player must obey to:

I am calling it rules, but its just a simple understanding that we all must have to play DayZ as it was meant to be played (no, I don't mean with nVidia).

1. If you spot/meet armed player, who could kill you five minutes ago, in ten different ways, but didn't did it, then you don't kill him.

Or if this player show no sign of treat to you even when he got all the advantages in that situation.

for example, you running near fire station, and you see someone who aims at you and can kill you at any moment, but you still alive, and even when you approach him, he doesn't shoot you.

even if you are a bandit. you don't kill him at that moment.

why? Because its lame, its sad, its disappointing and frustrating, you (bandit) will think "ho ho I am good bandit pro", but you are NOT.

If you have at least a little respect to your bandit "Career", don't shoot.

just think about it:

This person decided to spare your miserable bandit life, in return, you (bandit) should walk away fast enough before he changes his mind.

And because you are a bandit, you can then try to hide or something and kill this friendly player.

Next, the Scared players, at least 30% of kills on sight happens because of scared players, this is the most interesting thing I saw in DayZ.

for example, player camping some where, lets say hangar, Balota AF, he sit there at the corner, some friendly player enters the hangar, aims at him with his AKM, and then turn around and walks away, and after that, the camping player finds his balls and shoot this friendly player in the back, then says he is sorry he was scared etc. so:

2. if you was NOT the first to shoot, and didn't got shot, DO NOT shoot. (of course only if other player spotted you and didn't shot you).

and of course you don't shoot him in the back after he turned around.

why?

Because this is how we avoid pointless murders. If he was bandit he would probably shoot you at the moment he spot you.

You are Bandit? then shoot as soon as you spot this player, isn't it what you camped for?

3. Do not aim at other players if you don't want to shoot.

This is bit problematic but if you and the survivor you just met didn't shot each other after ~2 seconds since you met, don't aim at each other, turn your aim away (both of you).

Doing this will release the "pressure" and fatal misunderstanding will be avoided, and you may even team up.

Most of the times when something like this happens, one player can't deal with the pressure and shoot, the result: one dead friendly player and one sad player.

If we all will understand this simple things, there won't be unnecessary PvP and pointless murders.

*NOTE* I am not a carebear or bronie,

when we playing game like this, we must have at least the simple and the basic understanding of what goes on there.

*NOTE 2* Sorry for my English, its not my native language...

Yeah I play DayZ because I like following a set of rules.

You follow your conscience, or in the case of hackers, your penis size.

Wow i wish there were more people like you, every time i meet a person i go 'Friendly' and they shoot. Unlucky for them I can out gun most of them. Because of this i sit with 6kills and -6k Humanity. I wear a ghillie suit to hide my bandit skin...

Maybe we can meet up?

i had your same experience..

bored by my OLD endgame char, i wanted to feel the emotions of a fresh start and started a life in a non-hive server..

high pop..

and i always got killed by others unless i was aiming them before they spotted me. a crazy guy run straight to me with hatchet and with my 1911 at his head he dared to hack me once..and then he died. and i died in the north walking towards a ghillie guy with a car saying i was friendly and wanted a pick up..all without aiming at him...it's full of scared pussies that feel like veterans..
